The Spontaneous Weekend: Minneapolis

GQ, 2008

A look at one of the most vibrant, art-saturated, and forward-thinking cities the Midwest has to offer.

When visiting Minneapolis, it’s hard to resist conjuring up Prince songs as you make your way around the city. You’ll feel the urge to ask for a little red corvette at the rental counter. You’ll hope the forecast calls for some purple rain. And you’re totally gonna party like it’s 1999. But this is no one-note town. You’ll quickly see why this city has way more going for it than the funky tunes of a certain pint-size native son.
